I think Dopers already identified possible locations of wizarding schools in the US. All it takes is a little imagination. Clue: US wizards aren’t better than their UK counterparts in hiding themselves. Some are even household names. ---

Leave a loaf for a hundred years down a mineshaft and it remains just as edible as when it was baked. More, should it get fossilized. ---

The best quote (from [this article](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23986595)) is: > [@](#): > > The young women’s mentor, Brynne’s father, disagrees with critics who say it’s dangerous to teach teenagers to perform exorcisms. > > “We think it’s OK to train teenagers to get drunk and have sex, but to do moral things for God, oh let’s not train them to do that,” says Larson. Now, hands up anyone who was TRAINED to get drunk and have sex? I must have missed that day at school. ---

This pseudo-science crap to swindle confused people out of money really annoys me. If I didn’t have moral standards, I would get rich myself by setting up the I **nstitute of Levitation** (patent pending.) There would be a website with jargon and fake claims of satisfied clients. A well-researched history of Levitation attempts (including medieval myths, modern magicians and levitation in fiction.) Fees would be reasonable. The get-out clause would be in the small print: if you don’t truly believe you can levitate, you’ll fail. So those who believe they’ve succeeded pay me - and those who lack belief don’t get a refund. Would it really work? How gullible are the general public? :smack: ---
